Can't play custom music

[buying gf]

When I try to add custom music to the map, it doesn't play on map and in console I get this message.

[Sound] S_StartSound(): Failed to load sound "lsd1.wav" Can't create mixer.
EmitAmbientSound: warning, broadcasting sound labled as SND_SPAWNING.

The .wav is 44100 hz, I tried putting an * in front of sound name in ambient_generic but then game just crashes if i do that. I also used pakrat.

Default sounds that the game already has like birds chipping work fine.

Use a .mp3 with that sample rate to avoid high file sizes. It will not work in Hammer, but it will work fine in-game. Only use .wav for small audio files.

Using mp3 instead of a wav helped thanks

We can blame all those youtuber mappers, for always saying to use .wav, but those guys only do defuse, hostage mapping, not custom modes, that could need music.
